Ok, so I'm finally putting the finishing touches on my Mariah 54 in preparation for launching it at AirFest and I have a dilemma of sorts. This is the first minimum diameter for me and the kit came with conformal rail guides, which I was about to put on the body tube. The problem is that I also purchased a slimline motor retainer and installed it a while back. It looks like there *might* be enough clearance to go on the rail if I mount the lower rail guide high enough, but I'd prefer not to just take a chance. Has anyone here used the GL rail guides along w/ their motor retainers without using a standoff for the rail guide?
If this is a no go, what can y'all suggest for a standoff? I was thinking of some thick card stock epoxied to the body tube, then soaked with thin CA for strength, and then epoxying the rail guide on top. Any chance of that working?
